Default Shifters

Hey guys,

I'm just starting out in modifying my ride. I have a 99EX 2Dr. 5spd-M. I've stripped out all the air regs from the factory intake and installed an aftermarket kit. I am looking to replace this kit as well with a Cold Air System. I've slapped on some 17" 5 spoke Konigs that I no longer like. I basically have done little things here and there in a cheap fashion to see what I like. But I am now ready to get serious and put some money into my car. To start I am looking to install a short throw shifter kit. Any suggestions on what I can get for a good deal?

Thx

I've heard that B&M shifters are suppose to be good, maybe someone that has one can tell you first hand. One of the sponsors should be able to sell you one, or you could try EBay

i have a b&m in my car, i like it a lot, it is high quality and comes with good instructions for installation if you need them. the only thing i don't like about mine is that the throws are a little to short for my taste and synchro longevity

From what I've heard, B&M definitely cranks out quality products. Also, Skunk2 makes a nice unit.

Hey Guys,

Thanks for the great direction. I went ahead and ordered a B&M Shifter from gforceautoparts.com. I've installed it and you're right it is really good quality and the instructions were pretty good. I love how my car shifts! Thanks again for help'n out a Nu B!
